INGREDIENT 101
Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance produced by your body that is excellent at retaining moisture. It’s found throughout your body and helps to lubricate joints, make skin flexible, reduce wrinkles and fine lines, and heal wounds by drawing nutrient-rich moisture to the area. Hyaluronic acid for the skin helps to restore moisture that has been lost as natural hyaluronic acid levels decrease through the aging process and other environmental factors by drawing water from the air around you and below your skin to hydrate the superficial tissue. Properly hydrated skin reduces wrinkles, fine lines, acne, and soothes sensitive skin.
Using acid on the skin can bring thoughts of burning. However, hyaluronic acid is not an exfoliating acid like glycolic, lactic, or salicylic acids and won’t create a burning sensation on application.
